P F Changs mongolian beef

I as searching around the internet trying to uncover the secrets of panda expresses food and I discovered a recipe swearing to be the actual recipe for P F Changs Mongolian beef. Me and Josh had gone there to eat out one last time before Rachel was born. from some secrets I had learned it sounded pretty legit and I found the same recipe with the same claim. I tried it and it was awesome. Only adjustments were I did not use all the sauce it made and to make the brown sugar dark I added 1/4 tsp molasses. Did you know that molasses is taken out of sugar to make it white and then added back to make it brown again for brown sugar? Coll things to know.

Here is the recipe

Mongolian Beef

2 tsp veg oil
1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 Tb minced garlic
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c water
3/4 c dark brown sugar
1 c veg oil
1 lb flank steak
1/4 c cornstarch
green onion tops cut 2 in

Sauce:heat oil slightly, add ginger and garlic ( will become fragrant), add soy sauce and water, dissolve brown sugar into it. Boil till it thickens and reduces slightly ( it wont thicken much, the cornstarch from the beef really does it)
Thinly slice the flank steak across the grain so it is tender ( this is easier when slightly frozen). Toss in cornstarch to coat. Heat oil in wok. Fry the beef. drain oil from wok. add back the meat and add the onion, wilt slightly, add sauce as desired, toss and heat, serve.
